About Jumilla

Jumilla is a Spanish Denominación de Origen DO for wines that extends over the north of the region of Murcia, Spain. The region includes the municipality of Jumilla, from which it takes its name, and the contiguous southeast of the Albacete province municipalities of Montealegre del Castillo, Fuente-Alamo, Ontur, Hellin, Albatana and Tobarra inside the Castile-La Mancha vicinity. There are presently 32,000 hectares currently underneath vines in Jumilla DO, 45% of that are in Murcia and 55% in Albacete.
There are round 3,000 grape-growers registered. During the outbreak of the phylloxera plague inside the nineteenth century the location incredibly escaped contamination and so entered a period of financial expansion as wine traders from France came in exquisite numbers to buy wine. For this reason the vines have been never regrafted onto resistant rootstock from the New World as turned into the case inside the relaxation of Europe.
However, the phylloxera pest suddenly struck in 1989, devastating the vineyards and decreasing production via 60% over the subsequent 5 years. Replanting and grafting become slow and steeply-priced however allowed the area to adopt the new strategies of grape growing and wine making that had been already proving a success inside the neighbouring DOs of Alicante and Almansa. Jumilla DO is one of the oldest in Spain having acquired its reliable reputation in 1966.
